Kate Walsh just turned 56. 

And the Hollywood actress proved she only gets better with age on Friday. 

The Grey's Anatomy star, who moved to Perth, Australia in 2020, looked incredibly youthful as she posed a in a plunging top to celebrate her birthday during a tropical island getaway.

Kate also donned a hat made from tropical leaves and flowers in the image as well as a lei around her neck. 

It comes just days after Perth GP Deb Cohen-Jones shared an image of Kate in a leather cut-out dress at a restaurant in the city. 

Kate and Deb along with two other friends enjoyed a dinner out for her special day.

Kate is a fixture around Perth's social scene, attending Vogue Codes In Conversation breakfast in August in the city. 

She spoke to Vogue Australia's Edwina McCann about Hollywood and beyond, and her experiences as a woman in the world's most powerful industry. 

The actress relocated to Australia in 2020 after getting engaged to Western Australian farmer, Andrew Nixon.

She recently revealed she had fallen in love with Australia's laid back lifestyle and was happy to call Perth home.

'I really love Western Australia… I think nature here eclipses everything. It drives me,' she told news.com.au.

'I like the slowness. It's really good for me. And then you go back overseas and you're like, "Oh my god. People are insane".' she added.
